The good people at Thornbridge say: Lord Marples is surprisingly smooth with light toffee and caramel characters, a mixture of floral and spicy hop notes and a pleasing bitter finish.

Pours fairly clear, dark amberbrown. mediul sized, very stable, white head. Scent is nice, full maltyness, bit earthy hops. Taste is full, malty, medium bitter (which is higher than usual for the style). Easy drinkable. Mild body, medium to medium high carbo. Lovely.

Bottle from Asda. Clear reddish brown pour with small off white top with good retention. Clean malt aroma with red fruit, pepper, grass. Very good body for the strength - smooth, semi-drying, soft to fine carbonation. Malty and leafy with hint of caramel, mixed berries, light toast, spice dusting. Very good bitter.

Bottle at home after a crazy week. Good pour with little head. Nose of malt and some bitter hops and the same for the taste. It's OK but really nothing special. A homage to a bitter but lacking that certain something the good ones have.
